RESERVED JUDGMENT ON
PRELIMINARY HEARING
It is the judgment of the Tribunal that :
There are no reasonable prospects of the claimant establishing that the second
respondent was her employer, or otherwise liable to her for her dismissal, or any
acts of discrimination. Her claims against the second respondent are struck out, and
it is dismissed from the proceedings.
REASONS
1. By a claim form presented on 24 February 2017 the claimant brings claims of
unfair dismissal and disability discrimination arising out of the termination of her
employment on 28 September 2016. The claimant named the two respondents in her
claim form, and in para. 31 of her Grounds of Complaint pleads:
“As there is currently some ambiguity on [sic] who the respondent should be for each
claim (and there could be separate claims against both the 1st Respondent and 2nd
Respondent) the claims pleaded herein in all cases are made against both
Respondents and will be further particularised when the correct respondent or
respondents to each claim have been identified.”
